United States Second Circuit

A US probation officer conducting a court-imposed home visit of a convicted person serving a term of federal supervised release is not subject to the probable cause requirements of the Fourth Amendment that would ordinarily apply to a law enforcement officer executing a search warrant for an individual's home, or subject to the reasonable suspicion standard applicable to probation searches.
